    What the fuck is this gaslighting propaganda bullshit? People in the US have been taking vacations for decades; it’s not exclusive to GenZ, nor is it a “new trend”. I call bullshit.

    Is the original satire? I know Americans are obsessed with presentism on the job, but even they understand the concept of a vacation?

      It’s hard to tell. I’ve worked at places that would definitely fire me for using a week of vacation, and legally in my state vacation isn’t a tangible guaranteed thing; it’s completely legal to just fire the employee instead if they try to use it without compensation. Practically some jobs don’t have time off. You just get fired.

    Crazy people. We get 4 weeks at the start and then 1 extra per year for five years. So total 5 weeks paid holiday. Only work 33 hours a week too. Some companies treat people well, just have to get lucky and find a small one.

    Also, yeah I’m not micro retiring.

    Hi, Norwegian here, we have 5 weeks vacation per year, mandated by law. Oh, and the government takes 10% of your paycheck every month and pays it all out in July, so you have the money to go on vacation. Strong labor unions is the recipe.

      5 weeks

      Is this why you guys won’t join the EU, because you’ll be forced to get humane amounts of leave instead of the pittance you somehow survive on? :P
